These ideas may be inconvenient and may not get to the problem, but ... 
Have you tried taking the printer to a friend's to try see if it will
install on their machine (it can be uninstalled easily), and have you
tried borrowing a friend's USB cable to see if that will let your
computer see your printer?  (Just in case one of those is faulty.)
